I copied this intro text from http://usinfo.state.gov/usinfo/about_usinfo.html (public domain I believe because US Government published [1]) to start this page in an informative direction:

I marked this page for several distinct issues because it has apparently been ignored for a long time. The only source is directly the subject of the article, making it highly susceptible to POV and puffery. I believe it needs a drastic rewrite. Bataaf van Oranje ( talk) 22:45, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
The first sentence is already a blatant euphemism for propaganda. How does it sound encyclopedic to have the subject of the article described in a completely non-objective way. It sounds like it was written by the bureau itself!?
It's unclear to me whether this bureau still exists. I can find nothing on the Department of State websites to indicate that it does. D.Holt ( talk) 12:55, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
It merged into the Bureau of Global Affairs last year: https://www.state.gov/the-creation-of-the-bureau-of-global-public-affairs/ 2604:6000:1404:167:2515:6F1D:F7B5:806E ( talk) 17:14, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
I propose merging Counter Misinformation Team (CMT) into this page ( Bureau of International Information Programs, IIP), citing #3 and #4 in WP:MERGEREASON - CMT was a IIP subagency dissolved at the same time as IIP was. It appears unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time (potentially due to both lack of sufficient information and interest) and may be more beneficial for readers if it were situated within the parent agency context.

How do we say this in an encyclopedia article with a straight face:
Holy wowzers! I love to be "providing and supporting the places, content, and infrastructure needed for sustained conversations with foreign audiences". What does that even mean? Do we have any actual information on what this agency was or what it did? jp× g 🗯️ 07:54, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
